7:02 pm
two americans are among those hostages, and he is offering to freedom in exchange for the release of the world trade center bomber, the so-called blind sheik. a pakistan scientist jailed for trying to kill american soldiers in afghanistan. the state department flatly denying the request. >> the united states does not negotiate with terrorists said. >> all say it again. the united states does not negotiate with terrorists. >> we do not negotiate with terrorists. we are obviously in consultations. lou: the problem with that statement is that this government has negotiated with terrorists. our government has been engaged in talks with the taliban and afghanistan since early 2009.

7:04 pm
all countries of the region. i make clear to the prime minister that we stand ready to further enhance the counter-terrorism support that we already provide. lou: the situation on the ground in algeria is changing by seemingly the moment. we have it covered here. we will be bringing to you the developments throughout this hour. philip benton unofficial will be joining us. former special assistant to president george w. bush with us. conservative columnist and culture among our guests tonight. we begin with the very latest on the american killed in the hostage situation in algeria. fox disaster security correspondent jeff griffin with our report. >> in exchange for two american hostages, the kidnappers want to convicted terrorists released from u.s. prison. incarcerated for life for his
7:05 pm
role in the 1993 world trade center bombing and a pakistan in are a scientist who shot to american soldiers in afghanistan . the state department immediately ruled that out. >> the united states does not negotiate with terrorists. >> the state department, pentagon, and white house all were quick to call this attack terrorism. >> let's not forget, this is an act of terror. the perpetrators are the terrorists. >> terrorists should be on notice. there will find no sanctuary, no refuge, not in algeria, north africa, not anywhere. >> the u.s. military sent a c130 and a transport plane to evacuate the wounded, but the algerians are still rejecting any foreign counter-terrorism help at the bp complex.
7:06 pm

7:07 pm
his representatives made the new demands. last summer egyptian president was the first to call for the release of the blind sheik. then protesters outside the u.s. embassy in cairo were wearing costumes. at about the same time the u.s. consulate in benghazi was stormed. >> on 911 the issue the decree, take american prisoners, western hostages in exchange for the release of the blind shake and the united states. >> fox news has confirmed that the american who died at the bp oil complex was frederick boccaccio, a texas resident. he apparently died of a heart attack during the algerian military rescue attempt. u.s. officials recovered is remains on friday and notified his family. fox news has also learned that the general manager of the dp complex escaped with some of the algerian staff and a safe. tonight the standoff is ongoing
7:08 pm
and extremely dangerous for those who are still being held. lou: extremely dangerous and a remote location. all but impossible to get reliable information. is there any sign that we're going to have better and permission coming from that area? >> is very difficult to say. right now the hostage-takers are dug-in. i think that information, one of the reasons are not getting information out of the u.s. government is the don't want to say anything that might jeopardize those americans still being held. lou: thank you so much. joining us now, k. t. mcfarland to has held national security posts under presidents ford, nixon, reagan. it this incident, as jennifer's just reported, still very dangerous and for an unknown number of americans being held hostage. we do know, as the result of the
7:09 pm
leader that they have at least two americans that they're willing to trade. first of your reaction to the statement that we do not negotiate with terrorists when clearly we have done just that in the instance of the taliban going to the plo as well. lou: well, they have negotiated with terrorists, but i have to say that hostage situations are what have got a lot of presidents in trouble. when jimmy carter could not rescue american hostages in iran, that was what cost and the presidency. president reagan tried to negotiate terrorist -- with terrorists. the hostage trading for arms. he said he did not do it, but in effect, that's what it looked like. this is very dangerous territory politically. one thing there really starting is the necessity of saying we will trade those two hostages. a man who probably is the most defies -- despised terrorist
7:10 pm
planner. lou: but also, a trade that has never been specifically rule the but as a ministration. they have not said categorically that it would not occur. >> i thought that was interesting. the statement today from the state department press spokesman , we don't negotiate with terrorists. no one has the following question, can you assure us that we will never trade for any kind of hostage situation? that has not been ruled out. i sure hope that in the confirmation hearings we have next week, the next two weeks with a new cabinet officers, that question will be asked. lou: and troubling statement by the secretary of state today, and i want to quote her. it is absolutely essential that we broaden and deepen our counter-terrorism cooperation going forward with algeria and all countries of the region. northern africa. we stand ready to further enhance that counter-terrorism support we already provide. what the united states does not
7:11 pm
seem to require at this point in our history is greater involvement in the region from which it appears we are extricating ourselves. >> and that is the real problem. as the united states is perceived as leaving north africa, the middle east, afghanistan was signal does that send? we are leaving behind an awful lot of american civilians, people who are involved. those people are going to be unprotected. if we have a situation where it looks like terrorists are gaining some kind of an advantage by taking american hostages, will they take more? lou: the audacity of this operation against this bp gas plant in the eastern desert of algeria, i thought it was curious that the state department and others in our government were saying, this is a planned operation. and i found that to be so provincial.
7:12 pm
troublesome, as if, my god, the slowly terrorists within we have been engaged in battle for a long list conflict in the history of the superpower actually plantings. i mean, it came across as utterly mindless to me. your reaction. >> i think that was all about -- to go back to the -- that attack. the initial reaction of the administration was this is an unplanned attack. a bunch of people who are reacting. lou: in which they were proven to be complete idiots. >> that's where the tough talk now. lou: it's under the same instance. panera of rationalization. again for inaction. perhaps it is unfair, not knowing the circumstances to say this seems again as if this a ministration is being caught flatfooted and incapable of responding with power. >> for months after the attack and we still don't have anybody
7:13 pm
in custody. we have not retaliated. and the signal that has sent is, come get us again. that's what happened when we did not respond in 2000 to the u.s.s. cole attack, the east african bombings. that's what led to september september 11th. here we all are -- here we are all over again. lou: absolutely. sitting in a luxury hotel. poolside sipping strawberry frap is according to the new york times praying about it. why? lou: thank you for being here. >> much more on developing hostage situation in algeria. the latest developments and the white house response to terrorism throughout the world as we continue. stay with us. lou: the obama economy in tonight's "chalk talk" we take a look at the obama economic failure.

7:19 pm
that gun-control group is under some severe criticism for airing what critics call a despicable and dangerous at targeting a moderate democrat. during his 2012 reelection campaign congressman john barrell of georgia aired this that is showing his support for a second amendment and the nra. >> i am john barrell, and long before i was born, my grandfather used to this smith and wesson here to help stop alleging. for as long as i can remember my father always had this rifle real handy. just to keep us safe. lou: now, the coalition to stop gun violence decided to without any assessment of the ethics involved it is that in in so doing when the congressman to be sandy hook massacre.

7:21 pm
22 percent said tougher laws could help. remarkable margin. joining me now, to discuss the president's gun-control initiative, the issues on capitol hill. a former assistant to president george w. bush, republican strategist john christie, steven haze. stephen, by any standard but we just watched in an ad by the coalition to stop guns , what is your reaction? >> i mean, that is such an unbelievably disgraceful at. i was trying to think as i was listening to in a much in what the equivalent was. the next debt that comes to my mind, the naacp and that was targeting jurors w. bush back in 2000. talked-about dragging harry byrd behind the car. such an outrageous in-your-face ad. this is of that help, and it is so incredibly misleading.
7:22 pm
it is precisely the opposite of the impression. and if these kinds of groups start starting moderate read state democrats, there will be a lot fewer moderates a democrats would. lou: this is beyond belief. that is a despicable act by that group. whatever their motives. there is clearly on the left of this country. of you that their purpose is a lofty that their goals so pure, they can do whatever the hell they want to whomever they want. this is a very frightening trend >> that is the most frightening concept. this conversation to suggest that those of us is a justifiable the second amendment that are surrounding. but the worst part for me is exactly what we just saw, the people willing to exploit the death of an essential and for
7:23 pm
their own political gain at the detriment of those who didn't agree with. lou: and as we look at the apple , this is a huge margin. surveying the american people a lot tougher gun-control legislation. is the exact opposite of what the gun-control advocates the fuse of the american people. we have looked at a four day teeseven guess it was monday on whether the most pressing problems or americans in this country, you know, chief among them the economy, the budget deficit for crying out loud. a dysfunctional government. in have to go to -- 4%. what in the world is going on in that town? >> not the first time there were talking about things that the rest of the country does not care about as much.
7:24 pm
interesting. this poll comes out with 71 percent of americans believing these new laws are unlikely to actually prevent future mass shootings, and then there was a washington post-abc poll earlier this week that found 55 percent of americans believe that the most effective way or one of the most effective ways to stop these things is to have armed guards and schools. much more in line with what the nra was proposing. people are skeptical of new laws, and i think they're right to be. if there are going to be new measures undertaken, they want to do things that are not what the white house is proposing right now. lou: there is a dishonesty in this initiative that i find appalling. this president reacted skeptically to the proposal by the nra to put armed guards at schools all over the country. the nra is the only entity in this debate that has been for square concerned about public school safety and made its recommendation which would find that over 23,000 schools in the
7:25 pm
country already have armed guards. police officers. they call many of the resource officers. lou: the nra is trying to have an honest debate about gun control. how do you find a balance between the constitutional rights and those who would seek to take away guns from law-abiding americans? we cannot continue -- people who are going to break the law will not follow the law. i think that the nra has been a very good force in trying to educate americans not only of the constitutional rights but how to properly on and maintain the support. lou: governor chris christie, the nra and, talking about the president's children deserve security, and so the around. he call that repugnant, deplorable. he went on. how do you think you will react to that ad by the gun control advocates? >> we will see if he steps
7:26 pm
forward and condemns that. i did not think the nra ad was a smart move. i thought that the substantive case then made was virtually indisputable. it is the case that there is a double standard. we can debate whether the president deserves to have a double standard, particularly with respect to the secret service. but having said that, the ad in my view may president obama a sympathetic figure in the one way that they did not want to make a sympathetic. lou: you can argue that they could have done a better -- you can argue lots of things, but the fact that they point out very specifically that there is a double standard. the nra was not saying that he did not deserve nor his children deserve that extra protection. we all know that they do. the point is, so does every american and they're children. every one of those young lives is precious to all of us. thank you for being with us. thank you.
